interesting thread
why not lead by example again and try to make music at 160-165 bpm? that way there would be more room for experiments, djs who are ready to play slower records would have enough new tracks to do so and those who would like to mix it with new stuff would be able to do it at a slower tempo? and your music would still have its own identity. just a thought.Naphta said:Ahh, 'breakage'!!! Yeah, there was much discussion and agonising over genre names over on the d+b resistance HQ forum (Subvert Central) a year or two ago... I argued that as with the drum n bass/ happy hardcore split in 94, another split would be a good and necessary thing... and that a separate identity would require a different name, 'drum n bass' now having crapped all over itself once too many times.
Unfortunately I was out-voted and hence the confusion for punters re: what exactly links a tune by Equinox with a tune by Twisted Indidual? (answer = nothing except tempo)
